Definitions:

Independent Variable

The determining variable in a causal relationship.

Vertical Intercept

The vertical intercept of a graph is the point at which the curve intersects the vertical (Y) axis, often representing the starting or base value of the function when other variables are zero.

Slope

In mathematics, the measure of the steepness or incline of a line, defined as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.

Positively Related
